I don't want to pay Microsoft for word. I don't want to keep all my documents on a Google server. And I also don't want to put a bunch of pirated software on my work laptop. Can you help me out?

      I've been using Libre for about a month, and honestly, it falls short of both Word and Google Docs. Those two are much more intuitive, smooth, and just...better. Maybe I have to spend more time with Libre, but if you have any other rec, that would be great.

        My problem with LibreOffice is how god damn intensive it is. What the fuck. A word processor should not be this resource hungry.

          Disable the Java Runtime Environment from Options>Advanced and see if that helps at all

          Otherwise if you're doing super light editing AbiWord is okay I guess

      LibreOffice font rendering is fucking horrible on my machine Sometimes when I can't take it I become a class traitor and land on Google Docs
